good luck al, i started today(8/11) at abf pittsburgh,pa, wow,what a whole different concept, but all went well, be on the dock for couple weeks then they might turn mme out to the street

Kept my Jackets; some D.I. shirts and the rodeo shirts EARNED at Jevic also. They may not mean anything to some; but like it or not; they were EARNED. Also; would like to go on the record; Dave and Tim didn't close Jevic, Sun Capital did and it was destined to be closed the minute they took us over in the time frame that came down. No matter what Dave and Tim did, they would have still closed it. Good Luck to All!! Scott

I agree Scott, we earned them. We earned the patches, the trophy's, the d i shirts the safe driver awards, the names on our trucks. They should build another sun capitol head quarters building that looks just like the original and burn them both down.

Just got my 30 in at ABF Baltimore and paid my first union dues. Gotta say, it is a very different way of working. Never know when I go in if it's straight truck, trailer, pups or pods and sometimes it's two or three of those in one day.

I don't know about your shop, but I really like the respect and the consideration that is given to drivers here. I like getting my lunch and coffee breaks without someone asking why I sat still for a half hour and I gotta say, the NEXTELs work a HECK of a lot better than they ever did at Jevic.

Hi Al; Thx for the reply. How are you doing? Still on W/C here. Waiting to see what happens with it. With all the grumbling the guys did, I'll bet they wish they still had Jevic. Saw where someone said Harry was buying the name back; but I don't believe it. Sun Capital used JEVIC'S good name to run up a lot of bills and then not pay them; plus whatever else they did to smear the name. Keep in touch on here; ok? Scott

No problem Scott.

I just finished my first week at FedEx, I have yet to actually drive. 1st week is all tests and watching videos. next couple of weeks will be dock and spotter. then they will send me for the actual orientation somewhere out of state for another week. Then god only knows what I'll be doing. Real different kind of place. But at least i'm on the clock, and the benefits look real good.

Just for the hell of it I stopped in at J2 today. They had the auction last week. Dave M. and Steve P. are still there. walked around inside, it's just a hollow shell. all that is left is the carpet on the floor. Some tractors are still there, but they are all sold. Probably 200 or so trailers that still are available. Pretty sad looking place now. Turns out Jevic was told by Sun NOT to try to collect on the money that was owed to Jevic for back freight charges. Pit Ohio was going to buy Jevic before we closed. They told Sun they needed 60 days to line up the money for the purchase. Sun said NO. Hurricane swept through Florida and missed the Sun Cap. building.

Later
